The NFL has introduced a new rule for the 2025 season that will move touchbacks on kickoffs to the 35-yard line, encouraging more kickoff returns.
Bears special teams coordinator Richard Hightower played a significant role in advocating for this change, alongside his involvement with the dynamic kickoff rules implemented earlier.
The Bears have signed Devin Duvernay, a highly regarded return specialist, to leverage this new rule, boosting their special teams' potential impact on games.
Hightower expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to revolutionize the game and coach a team that's expected to see more exciting kickoff returns starting in 2025.
